# NVS-03 Ready as India Plans Four NavIC Satellites 2026-08-06T11:46:31+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets India plans to launch four satellites to rebuild its NavIC navigation network, Space Minister Jitendra Singh told the Lok Sabha. NVS-03 is ready after corrective measures were adopted following the NVS-02 launch anomaly in 2025. NVS-04 and NVS-05 are expected to follow, with another satellite planned to complete the seven-satellite base constellation. The government has not announced launch dates. Only three satellites currently provide navigation services, and NavIC needs at least four working atomic clocks for standalone positioning. That capability ended after the last clock on IRNSS-1F failed in March. The Federal reports that NVS-03 and GISAT-1A are awaiting launch at Sriharikota, while a parliamentary committee expects NVS-03, NVS-04 and NVS-05 over 15 to 18 months. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - thefederal.com Tags: ISRO, NavIC, navigation, satellites, space technology Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/india-prepares-four-satellites-to-restore-navic-capability/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
